Sustainable Energy Harvesting from Industrial Waste Heat

About INFERNO

INFERNO aims to develop a system to turn industrial waste heat into electricity with an innovative design strategy. The project’s ultimate goal is to create an efficient and easy-to-install system that helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Objectives

Advance thermoelectrics and thermophotovoltaics,  and develop a hybrid and highly modular TPV-TEG system combined with a Metasurface-based Collector with a unique design.
Develop a system that can be easily and cost-effectively retrofitted and integrated to generate electricity from industrial waste heat, and test and validate this system as the first of its kind in real industrial settings.
Reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, thus improving citizen’s quality of life  &, ultimately, benefiting society.
